A Space Marine Got a Status Window

However, humanity was confident.

When humanity first encountered the Mog, it was shocked.

Fighting against them wasn’t easy either.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Furthermore, from humanity’s perspective, there was no need to wage an all-out war against the Mog either.

“The Mog may be terrifying, but there’s no reason humanity can’t defeat them!”

Humanity’s technology was already advanced enough to travel through space.

It was enough to protect the infrastructure necessary to extract resources, and they thought something like that wouldn’t pose any problem.

After all, humanity’s goal wasn’t to abandon Earth and migrate to new planets.

However, that idea completely collapsed with the appearance of one species of Mog.

“We only need to protect the mines. shadow It shouldn’t be difficult. echo If we build barriers and arm them, those damn Mog won’t be a problem.”

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Nor did they ask any questions.

“I-It’s a Tank Bug!”

At Private First Class Park Boseop’s words, Kim Seojun and Major Lee Hyena didn’t respond.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Rrrrrrrumble!

They simply looked.

Toward the place where the tremor they now felt beneath their feet originated.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

However, unlike an ordinary larva, their exterior wasn’t soft, nor did it look as though they would release some kind of liquid if struck.

They were covered by something extremely hard that resembled tank armor.

For starters, those insects looked like larvae.

There, four kilometers from the mine where Kim Seojun’s group was located, three gigantic insects could be seen moving rapidly.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Their size was simply astonishing.

They were monstrously large, as if a heavy-duty trailer had been doubled in size.

They measured approximately 40 meters long, 5 meters wide, and reached around 9 meters in height from the ground.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

However, what was truly terrifying was something else.

And those gigantic creatures moved at around 70 kilometers per hour.

Rrrrrrrrrumble!

They were terrifying in many ways.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

And, just as their name indicated, Bomb Bugs exploded.

That was what made them terrifying.

Tank Bugs carried creatures called Bomb Bugs inside them, insects approximately one meter long.

“Their bodies are swollen to the limit. airport There’s no doubt they’re full of Bomb Bugs.”

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

The same was true of armored units, including tanks.

‘We’re fucked.’

For that reason, every Space Marine who saw a Tank Bug said exactly the same thing.

Against those powerful explosions, the defenses created by humanity were left completely helpless.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Furthermore, Tank Bugs didn’t travel alone.

It was literally an enormous army.

There were three Tank Bugs, and alongside them advanced 77 Thorn Snakes and approximately 2,000 Mogdogs.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

For starters, they consumed so much energy every time they moved that they needed long periods of rest.

Of course, it wasn’t as though Tank Bugs were some kind of universal solution for the Mog either.

They also had several problems.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

At the breeding grounds where Mog were produced, approximately one Tank Bug would usually appear for every thousand Mogdogs born.

Furthermore, when a Tank Bug wasn’t carrying Bomb Bugs inside it, it was nothing more than a large and durable insect.

And the number of existing Tank Bugs was extremely small.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s obvious they’re heading toward a headquarters.”

And on planet Amotia, their most likely objective was to destroy one.

Furthermore, in the current situation, it was practically impossible to expect support from space.

That was why Tank Bugs were never mobilized without a clear objective.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“If they continue in this direction, they’re heading toward the Polish headquarters.”

Unless it was a headquarters with considerable military strength, there was practically no chance of holding out against that army.

At that point, Kim Seojun immediately opened the map and traced the direction in which the Tank Bugs were advancing.

Then he checked where it led.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Korea maintained good relations with Poland in many respects, and particularly in the defense industry, the two countries had maintained deep ties for a century.

Those ties continued to exist even now, and the two countries also provided each other with a certain amount of support in space.

Upon hearing the word Poland, the expressions of all three hardened.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

During his time as an active-duty soldier, he had interacted quite a lot with Polish soldiers.

Even on planet Amotia, if one checked the records of the Korean headquarters, it could be seen that they had received a considerable amount of support from the Polish headquarters.

And in Kim Seojun’s case, it was even more significant.

To the point that they were spoken of as brother nations.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

In any case, they couldn’t simply ignore the situation.

Their relationship had been so close that Kim Seojun knew how to swear in Polish better than the Poles themselves.

It was then.

At the very least, they had to warn the Polish headquarters.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

They were hover bikes that, instead of circular wheels, had wings similar to those of a drone.

And from each of those transport aircraft came five motorcycles.

Three transport aircraft appeared above the terrifying Tank Bugs and the Mog army, making the wind roar.

Wooooooooosh!

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“The Suicides have appeared.”

Furthermore, every vehicle that had appeared carried the Polish flag.

When one lived as a Space Marine, experiencing all kinds of terrible situations was an everyday occurrence.

The moment he saw them, Kim Seojun’s expression hardened.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

And the worst of all was carrying out an operation from the very beginning with the assumption that you would die to accomplish the objective.

“Suicides?”

But for everything, there was an even worse situation.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Wait, then they……”

“They’ve come to try to change the Tank Bugs’ direction by any means possible or, at the very least, buy time.”

That was precisely what the Polish headquarters on planet Amotia had decided to do.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“What?”

In other words, they intended to face that monstrous army using three transport aircraft and barely fifteen hover bikes?

Upon hearing that, Private First Class Park Boseop was horrified.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was madness.

Even Major Lee Hyena was horrified.

“That’s absurd. acoustic It’s suicide.”

Madness capable of sobering up even someone completely high on Stimpaks!

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“If you’re going to die anyway, no one wants to simply die without doing anything.”

Instead of being surprised, he understood.

He could even identify with them.

However, Kim Seojun reacted differently.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

‘For a Suicide unit, they have too few forces. zenith If they’re going to do it anyway, they should make sure they do it properly. anxiety Fifteen hover bikes are too few.’

Hover bikes had excellent mobility, but they couldn’t carry a large amount of heavy equipment.

That was why a question occurred to him.

Kim Seojun knew because he had personally seen and experienced how, when someone was cornered to the worst possible extreme, even something like death eventually began to seem insignificant.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

‘And the Polish headquarters established on planet Amotia is fairly large.’

That meant they inevitably had little firepower!

Furthermore, unlike Korea, the Polish headquarters ranked ninth on planet Amotia.

Both the quantity and quality of its troops were incomparable to Korea’s.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Either the Polish soldiers there had ignored their superiors’ orders and were acting on their own.

There were only two possibilities.

And yet they had only sent that many forces?

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Whatever the answer was, Kim Seojun’s group had to make a decision.

“Um…… Sergeant Kim.”

Or the situation at the Polish headquarters was so bad that this was everything they could mobilize.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

The Tank Bug unit was like a bulldozer.

Both Private First Class Park Boseop, who had asked the question, and Major Lee Hyena, who was observing the situation, had reached the same answer.

Run.

“What do we do?”

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“We’ll support them.”

They only had to remain hidden, hold their breath, and wait for that storm to pass them by.

Furthermore, the Tank Bug unit still hadn’t detected Kim Seojun’s group.

It was impossible to stop it with only the people they had there.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

The two were horrified when they heard him.

“What?”

“What?”

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

With that expression on his face, he said.

Kim Seojun answered them first with his expression.

He didn’t want to do it either.

Nor did he want to do something insane like that.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was true that Korea had many allied countries, at least officially.

At those words, the two were half-convinced.

“First, we need to analyze this calmly. atom Right now, Poland is practically the only place on planet Amotia that would be willing to accept Koreans. aspect If the Polish headquarters falls, the only places we could try turning to would be China, Japan, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, or the United States.”

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

To be exact, every country capable of sending ships into space proclaimed during the space age.

But the situation on the ground was very different.

“Humanity is one!”

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

One could calmly watch a fire if it was on the other side of a river.

Furthermore, planet Amotia was in a situation where a Queen could be born at any moment.

“Furthermore, right now it’s practically impossible to receive outside support on planet Amotia. timber We can’t expect everyone to help each other, but at the very least, we need a lot of people to survive in order to keep the Mog under control.”

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Of course, every rule had exceptions, but this wasn’t one of them.

“And we need a lot of survivors on this planet. album If the number of survivors drops too much, the higher-ups will never act out of humanitarianism.”

But watching a fire from nearby with a backpack full of gasoline on your back while thinking, ‘So warm!’ was complete madness.

“If the Mog were heading toward China, I wouldn’t be saying this.”

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

After Kim Seojun explained that much, no one opposed his opinion.

After all, the one who now held command authority was Kim Seojun.

Above all, the moment the value of rescuing the survivors fell below the risk involved in doing so, there was a high probability that the higher-ups would change the rescue operation into an extermination operation.

In truth, it didn’t matter whether they agreed or not.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

How were they going to do it?

The problem was something else.

If he ordered them to do it, they had to do it.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Gulp!

After all, if they ended up entering combat, one way or another, she would have to take the lead and directly face that horde.

At that question, Major Lee Hyena’s expression hardened considerably.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

For Private First Class Park Boseop, the situation was even worse.

However, not even Lee Hyena, who until that moment had advanced like a bulldozer crushing everything in her path, had the courage to charge at those Tank Bugs.

And the moment he saw it, Park Boseop literally pissed himself.

It was the first time he had seen a Tank Bug.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Even though the horde was four kilometers away and wasn’t even heading toward them, fear had already completely crushed him.

And now he had to fight something like that?

“I-I……”

It wasn’t a metaphor.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Regardless of whether it was an order, he had no confidence that he could carry it out properly.

‘I can’t do it.’

Park Boseop was about to say.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Kim Seojun spoke to Park Boseop.

The only thing he was certain of was that he would become a burden and end up getting in their way.

“Park Boseop.”

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Kim Seojun’s gaze was completely serious as he spoke.

“I need your help.”

“Y-Yes? alert Yes?”

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

He was still afraid.

“I need you to help me.”

At those words, Park Boseop’s trembling began to subside.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

‘I can’t do it.’

And above all, didn’t Park Boseop already owe Kim Seojun his life several times over?

However, when someone needed him that much, he couldn’t simply respond.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Finally, he expressed his determination.

And the moment she heard that, Lee Hyena also finished mentally preparing herself.

She began imagining herself charging toward a Tank Bug and bringing her axe down on it.

“I-I’ll…… I’ll try.”

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

The two began imagining, each in their own way, a fierce battle and the most terrible situation they could conceive.

“First, the Polish hover bikes will launch their offensive and draw their attention. armor The Mogdogs will be the first to react. arch I don’t know how long the Polish soldiers will be able to hold out against that reaction, but the horde’s speed will decrease. apron That’s when we’ll intervene. abstract Our targets are the Tank Bugs.”

Then Kim Seojun told them.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Upon hearing the words Tank Bugs, both of their expressions twisted even further.

At those words, Park Boseop couldn’t even respond anymore.

He simply shifted his eyes from side to side.

“Private First Class Park Boseop, you’ll take me toward the Tank Bugs. atomic I need to provide supporting fire.”

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

In front of Park Boseop, Kim Seojun began calculating.

“One, two, three…… No, I think three will be difficult.”

“The distance……”

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

He assumed Kim Seojun was speaking in units of one hundred meters.

‘One hundred meters? armor Two hundred meters? amber Three hundred meters?’

The moment he heard those numbers, Park Boseop automatically began calculating mentally.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“D-Do you mean two hundred meters?”

“Two. arch I think two should be enough to be safe.”

In other words, he would have to drive the military truck until they were three hundred meters from the Tank Bugs.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

With one eyebrow raised.

At Park Boseop’s question, Kim Seojun looked at him.

With an expression that practically said.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“What? apple No, it’s just…… you want us to get within t-two hundred meters of those Tank Bugs now……?”

“There’s no reason for us to kill ourselves in such a complicated way. portal I’m talking about two kilometers.”

‘What the fuck are you talking about?’

“What are you talking about?”

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

At those words, Park Boseop tried to imagine the situation.

“What? abstract Two kilometers?”

“That’s right. artist If you can get me within two kilometers, then I’ll try to do something.”

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“B-But those are Tank Bugs, right?”

No matter how hard he tried to visualize it, he couldn’t imagine how a mere rifle could penetrate the exoskeleton of a Tank Bug, which was several times tougher and thicker than that of a Mogdog.

That was precisely why he had decided to carry out that operation.

Kim Seojun knew that as well.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“A weapon? avalanche We had something like that?”

“Fortunately, we now have a weapon capable of damaging a Tank Bug.”

At the question, which practically meant, ‘If we had something like that, why didn’t you use it earlier and only bring it out now?’, Kim Seojun replied.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was then.

“I borrowed it for a moment. artist I just have to use it a little and return it.”

Booooom!

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

And as soon as the explosions rang out, one of the Cyclops moving through the sky emitted a powerful sound.

Wooooooong!

It was the sound of the bombs the hover bikes were dropping.

In the distance, the sound of bombs exploding rang out.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Crack!

Upon hearing that sound, the Mogdogs that had been charging wildly forward began to change the direction of their charge.

Kiiiiiiiiii!

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

The moment he confirmed that, Kim Seojun gave the order.

“We’re moving right now!”

The Thorn Snakes also stopped and began driving their tails into the ground.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Vroooooom!

Kim Seojun and Lee Hyena climbed into the back.

Park Boseop immediately got into the vehicle.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

The military truck began racing directly toward the Tank Bug horde.

‘Damn it.’

At that point, Kim Seojun closed his eyes.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

But what other choice did he have?

If he wanted to survive, he had to do it.

Naturally, Kim Seojun didn’t want to do something like this either.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

And Kim Seojun’s life had always been like that.

‘I don’t even know anymore whether I’m the one who enters hell or whether places turn into hell when I arrive.’

Not once had he willingly entered hell.

To be exact, he had gone because they offered him more money, but he had never imagined it would end up turning into hell on such a massive scale.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

And the instant they were three kilometers from the Tank Bugs, Kim Seojun raised Hawk Eye’s sniper rifle.

“Three kilometers!”

That lament began to disappear as the distance between them and the Tank Bugs started to shrink.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was then.

He prepared for combat.

[An event mission has appeared!]

[Combat has begun.]

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Kim Seojun heard the notifications.

[You will receive a reward if you eliminate a Tank Bug with One Shot, One Kill!]

And the moment he heard them, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Then, the Status Window answered him.

It was completely absurd.

‘What the fuck are you talking about? album How am I supposed to kill that thing with a single shot?’

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 13: Tank Bug (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

[The mission reward is the Platinum-rank skill ‘Inventory’.]
